Boy did I have a brain fart today.
We were preg testing and pouring cows. Then we weighted the calves. Everything was going pretty well until one of the calves got turned around in the scale chute and was able to get it's head under the gate and get back out.
Well when the next one tried to do the same thing I reached in and rapped it on the nose. The calf threw it's head up ward and I ended up with my wrist and arm caught between the chute and the calf's head. Luckily the chute was made of wood, so it flexed. If it had been metal I would now be in a cast.
I was writing down the weights, but I had to ask one of the "pushers" to write it down for a few calves.
I know I should have known better.
